Some sort of microwave aerial Id imagine. Possibly MMDS but more likely for some kind of broadband service.

MMDS antenna I believe, also known as a duck-bill antenna. Used in strong signal areas.

I see a lot of them around Limerick city pointing towards Woodcock Hill.

Sure is. Also seems to have used Rawl bolts straight into the cement seperating the bricks.
